Question

Factor the following using greatest common factor 6x^2y^3 - 3x^5yz +15x^2y^2

Answer 1

Answer:

-3 x^2 y (x^3 z - 2 y^2 - 5 y)

Step-by-step explanation:

6(x^2)(y^3)

3(x^5)(y)(z)

15(x^2)(y^2)

take the least power:

x : 2

y : 1

z : 0

6,3,15: 3

Greatest common factor:

3(x^2)(y)

Factorize:

-3 x^2 y (x^3 z - 2 y^2 - 5 y)
